Please pay close attention to all dates noted on this calendar. My hope is that none of this will change but weather is a funny thing in South Georgia during the Fall and sometimes we will have to modify.
We are excited to announce that registration is now open for the 18th annual “Battle on the Border” Marching Competition hosted at Lowndes High School on Saturday, October 22, 2022. Directors are encouraged to submit their registration as soon as possible. Due to the prelims and finals format, only a limited number of performance slots are available. We cannot accept additional applications once these slots are filled. We will determine performance order by the postmark/timestamp on the application.
Online Band Registration for the 2022 Battle on the Border is available at this link.
Further details on the contest, including classification and adjudication information, can be found here.

The Lowndes High Georgia Bridgemen compile and produce the football programs sold at all home games. The revenue from the ad sales each year is how the cost of printing the programs is paid. We need the help of parents and students to encourage local businesses to purchase advertisements for the program. In return, students are given credit in their band account for a portion of any advertisements sold. For more information and the forms you will need to participate, see the list below.

If you would like to be considered as a chaperone for the band trip to San Antonio, TX (April 26-30, 2023), please complete this form. The rate for chaperones is yet to be determined. It could be the same as the student rate but hopefully it will be less. This form is not your commitment to go, it is only to express your interest in serving as a chaperone.
It is with great excitement that I am able to announce that the Georgia Bridgemen will be traveling to San Antonio, TX to participate in the Fiesta Flambeau Parade, “The World’s Largest Illuminated Night Parade” on April 26-30, 2023. It has been a long wait for our Bridgemen to hit the road again and we can’t wait. Please click on the links below to access all of the information for the trip. Please note that you will be making payments directly to Group Travel Network for this event. When you register ALL STUDENTS need to register for a Quad Room. Don’t worry…if you have money in your account or have monies raised from fundraising, we will get that to the tour company on your behalf. Please pay close attention to the deadlines on the forms. Please email Mr. Bowman, jonbowman@lowndes.k12.ga.us if you have any questions.

BAND PARENTS:
The easiest way for you to keep up with news and weather changes throughout band camp and the entire season is to download the “BAND” app on your cell phone and join the group “Lowndes High Georgia Bridgemen”. You will provide your name to join (no partial names or nicknames please).
https://bit.ly/3zn7GCa
Once you are in the app, click on the gear in the bottom right corner, then click on “my settings” and choose “r
eceive push notifications”. That will give you up-to-the-minute information from Mr. Bowman.
During camps and rehearsals, it is very hard for directors to answer emails, as they are busy with the students every single moment.
Make it a daily habit to check: the band’s website, facebook page, or the “BAND” app. The answers to most of your questions will be posted there. If there is a schedule change (due to last minute thunderstorm), it will be posted in the “BAND” app, as soon as the decision is made.
2022 BAND CAMP: July 18-22 and July 25-29
It’s going to be a great marching season!
